Lacson urges impeachment parties to avoid discussing case merits

Senator Panfilo Lacson has advised the Senate impeachment court to keep both the prosecution and defense teams from publicly debating the merits of the case against Vice President Sara Duterte until the trial starts. He emphasized the importance of maintaining impartiality and preventing premature judgments that could influence the proceedings. This move is crucial to ensure a fair trial and uphold the integrity of the Senate's judicial function. The call for restraint highlights the delicate balance needed in high-profile political cases to avoid bias and maintain public trust.
